Yesterday, I attended the Edmonton Photographic Tradeshow. This is only the second annual and I didn’t get to last years … so I can’t compare from year to year. As you would expect for a tradeshow, it had a good representation of manufacturers of photo equipment — cameras, lenses, tripods etc. All the principle manufacturers [...]
Twice in the last weeks, I have had reason to look at the photo book publishing site Blurb. When I was last there, I noticed the Blurb for Good menu item. Essentially, if you create a book and have designated a charity, you can set the price of the book and 100% of the profits [...]

Photo: Processed to enhance the colour from the sunset.
Photo: Rathtrevor Beach on Vancouver Island is a large sandy beach — very popular in the summer. On a spring day, it is much, much quieter enabling a solitary and reflective walk in a wide open space.
Photo: While visiting friends in Lantzville, B.C, we spent a little time walking through their garden. The background is mostly out of focus … but still too buzy for me.
